A killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) stands guard over three eggs alongside the Anaheim Coves recreational trail in Anaheim. Killdeer are known for their "injured wing" behavior to protect their nests. When a predator approaches, the killdeer will move away holding its wing in a manner that makes it look injured. It will flap about, making a distress cry to draw the predator away from the nest. It will then suddenly "get healed" and fly off when the predator moves toward it and away from the nest. The nest is just a depression in the ground amongst rocky ground where the speckled eggs are naturally camouflaged. BRUCE CHAMBERS, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

A low-pressure system then moves inland, mainly through central California, forecasters say. But it might affect our area enough to bring a slight chance of rain Sunday and more likely rain Sunday night.

Sunday is otherwise mostly cloudy with highs of 65 to 70 inland, 62 on the coast.

The chance of rain lingers into Monday. Highs should be 64 to 69 Monday and 61 on the coast.

Then we dry out Tuesday, though skies stay mostly cloudy in the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon. Highs remain moderate at 66 to 71 inland, 62 on the coast.
